Opening Vertical And Anterior Guidance

In January of next year the Seattle Study Club Symposium will be in Phoenix. I am excited to be presenting at the meeting for the first time, and my topic is “Implant Reconstruction for the Challenging Occlusion”. One of the challenges we will be discussing are patients with deep bites. Our goal is to place the teeth esthetically in the face, create adequate inter-occlusal space while minimizing the forces and optimizing the occlusion. This short video discusses opening vertical dimension as an option for gaining inter-occlusal space and what the consequences are as we design the occlusion.
